These sumptuous new hardback editions mark the 70th anniversary of Fitzgerald's death.Increasingly disillusioned by the rejection slips that studded the walls of his room and his on/off engagement to Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald began his third revision of the novel that was to become This Side of Paradise.The story of a young man's painful sexual and intellectual awakening that echoes Fitzgerald's own career, it is also a portrait of the lost generation that followed straight on from the First World War, 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken' and wanting money and success more than anything else.

Über den Autor
F. Scott Fizgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University, which he left in 1917 to join the army. He was said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as 'a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic marriage and her subsequent breakdowns became the leading influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work). Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

Like many, I started with the Great Gatsby and moved on to other Fitzgerald novels. This is a great addition to my current collection.

Great "Young" Novel

It's an odd novel in format, but I do like Fitzgerald and like that this writing isn't as perfect as some of his later stuff.
I like to give the Penquin Hardback Classic as a gift to young men starting university. It's hard to read- in a good way.

Images Don't Do It Justice

The images don't show clearly how striking this book's cover is; the silver is metallic, and shines when the light hits it. I loved the bookmark made of the same material as the cover. The book's paper is surprisingly high-quality, and is thankfully clean-cut (I hate deckled edges!). The downside of Fitzgerald novels is their short lengths, so most hardcover copies look insignificant on a shelf, but this one looks just incredible.
